For those interested I have written the primary reasons I prefer the FACETRON faceting machine over all others as I am often asked that question. I am also asked if there are any other machines I recommend. The answer to that question is NO. I have owned many different makes of faceting machines through the years. I have given each at least one year of use before I dismissed it. Most of them were good machines but not good enough to remain in my shop. After trying all the rest I returned to what I felt was the best, FACETRON. Unless anyone else has owned them all they simply aren’t experienced enough to know what I know is all I am saying...
